Um...unless she already had adult diapers at her house. Ew.



She wouldn't keep them at home, but it wouldn't be surprising to wear them home from NASA from time to time.

I know one who, after a long day as guinea pig in the centrifuge, just wanted to get home - he'd unplug the sensors and drive home as he was, flight suit and all. He had a good enough sense of humor to go through the Burger King drive-through too. He also maintained his pilot rating for the Shuttle which required him to fly a certain number of hours every month, and he would often drive straight home from the airport in full gear (but may not have had diapers for this).

This is all from 20 years ago, and the rules may have changed. They are certainly about to change, especially if those were flight issue diapers she took home from NASA (the same as Walgreens diapers only a lot more expensive).

As I said before, adult diapers have always been part of the glamor of space flight. If you have dreams of doing the commercial tourist flights gearing up you'd better get used to it.
